I’m trying to style some checkboxes (the box itself, not the label) to have a set color when checked vs unchecked.
To facilitate this, I created the following theme:

    <style name="checkBoxStyle" parent="Base.Theme.AppCompat">
        <item name="colorAccent">#FFFF</item>
        <item name="android:textColorSecondary">#FF598392</item>
        <item name="android:textColor">#FFFF</item>
        <item name="android:layout_height">wrap_content</item>
    </style>

From there, I implemented the theme in my activity layout:

...

<CheckBox
    android:theme="@style/checkBoxStyle"
    android:id="@+id/search_ingredients_checkbox"
    android:text="@string/search_ingredients" />
<CheckBox
    android:theme="@style/checkBoxStyle"
    android:id="@+id/search_directions_checkbox"
    android:text="@string/search_directions" />

...

So far, everything works as expected. However, once I try to click the checkbox in my emulator, the checkbox color is set to black, and the the uncheck box is also that same black.

I have not added any listeners to the checkboxes, so it’s nothing I’m doing as far as I can tell.
I’ve attempted a clean/rebuild of the project, and a new emulator setup. Unfortunately, the behavior persists.
